Graybill Hall [Lingtaitsuen]

Dublin Core

Title

Description

The new buildings on the Taitsuen campus were named after buildings on the Canton campus and constructed to reflect the architectural features of the original. The original Graybill Hall was named after Professor Henry B. Graybill, who served from 1903 to 1926. He was principal of Lingnan Middle School and is best known to Lingnanians for creating the English lyrics of the school anthem. The melody of the anthem is from a ballad by H. S. Thompson in the 1850s. It became the anthem of Cornell University in 1870 and has since been adopted by numerous universities, including the American University in Beirut and Washington and Jefferson College. The song was translated into Chinese by Mr Chan Tsap-ng.

大村校園的新建築均以廣州康樂校園的建築命名，以見本來的建築特色。原本的葛理佩堂就是以亨利．葛理佩教授的名字命名的。一九〇三年至一九二六年，亨利．葛理佩教授在嶺南執教，是嶺南中學的校長。最為嶺南人所知道的，就是他為嶺南校歌譜英文歌詞。校歌的旋律取自十九世紀五十年代的歌謠，由湯普森所作，一八七〇年成了康奈爾大學的校歌，後又為多所大學所採用，包括貝魯特的美國大學和華盛頓及傑弗遜大學。歌詞由陳輯五先生譯成中文。
